About

Bodybuilder and social media star known for his sports achievements and "Inspiring" social media presence. His motto was "Go big or go home." He became interested in bodybuilding in 2014 and dreamt of becoming World Champion. Before his death, he had long been preparing to take the stage for the biggest bodybuilding competition of his career. 

Before Fame

Prior to his bodybuilding and social media success and popularity, he grew up being bullied for his "Athletic build." His father got him and his brothers involved in motocross racing, and he began reaching the top three spots and winning several championships within his first year of racing. After a few injuries, his father decided to transition him and his brothers to hockey, a sport where he quickly rose through the ranks and became captain of his team.

Trivia

He started going with his dad to the gym at the young age of 12 to work on his training and skills as an aspiring bodybuilder. Soon after starting his training, he was signed by Markus Kaulius and became a sponsored athlete of Magnum. His father also shared that "He had extreme drive and dedication, more than anyone I've ever met in my life."

Family Life

On June 8th, 2022, he died in a tragic motorcycle accident in Dawson Creek, Canada. He left behind his parents, two brothers, Brennan and Kash, and sisters, Kameryn and Gracie. His fans learned about the news through a caption shared on his Instagram by his dad. The caption read: "Ryeley was in a tragic motorcycle accident last night. I don't know how to reach out to his followers. Just know he didn't feel any pain. I love you son so much."
